24-hour gaming centre at Admiral 115 - 116 Westborough, Scarborough

“The Head of Development Management – Community Development Services sought determination of a Section 73 planning application to remove Condition 4 applied to the original consent ZF23/01094/FL granting permission for an Adult Gaming Centre (AGC), to allow for a 24-hour opening to the public at Admiral, 115 - 116 Westborough, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO11 1LP on behalf of I Miller.”

“During consideration of the above application, the members expressed their support for the comments of North Yorkshire Police and Environmental Services recommending refusal of the application because of the high levels of crime and antisocial behaviour in the area and in the interests of amenity and public safety, noting too that no current businesses in the locality operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

“The decision: That planning permission be REFUSED.”

“Voting record: A vote was taken and the motion was declared carried unanimously.”

“Reasons: The committee agreed with the reasons for refusal put forward by the planning officer as set out below:”

“The 24 hour opening of the Adult Gaming Centre has been restricted within the enabling consent to ensure that the use of the premises would not result in a loss of amenity to nearby residences in terms of noise and disturbance or increased levels of crime and disorder in an area already to experience existing high levels. Therefore, to extend the hours of operation would be contrary to Policy DEC 4 of the Scarborough Borough Local Plan and Section 8 of the NPPF.”
